*American Indian Language Development Institute *Facilitators: Alyce
Sadongei

*Description:* The American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI)
recognizes that language revitalization is closely aligned with issues of
sovereignty, colonialism, well-being, and self-determination. This session
will examine these and other issues that affect language work in our
communities but we often do not have the time to discuss. Facilitated group
discussions will encourage honest, respectful engagement and there will be
time for all groups to share.

workshop

*Wednesday October 30th, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. **Advocates for
Indigenous California Language Survival*
Facilitators: Leanne Hinton, Julian Lang, Nancy Steele, and Carly Tex

*Description:* The Master-Apprentice Language Learning Program (MAP),
designed by the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival, has
been found to be one of the most successful ways for adult learners to
develop conversational proficiency in indigenous languages. In this
workshop we will present the basic principles of this one-on-one method,
illustrating with interactive exercises. We will discuss how and why it can
work well (and sometimes not), and how it feeds into language
revitalization efforts at school, in the community, and in the home. We
will also discuss how a community could set up their own MAP program.

<https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ewFptSaffkIG8TP>for this
workshop

California Language Survival and the Miyaamia Center*
Facilitators: Quirina Geary, Leanne Hinton, Deborah Morillo, Kayla Begay,
Daryl Baldwin

*Description:* This will be an interactive workshop about putting
linguistic documentation to use for language learning and revitalization.
We will begin with a history and overview of the Breath of Life workshops
and institutes for indigenous languages without speakers, in Berkeley,
Washington D.C., and Oklahoma. The structure of these institutes will be
discussed for people interested in setting up their own. We will go over
how to find documentation, what you might need to learn in order to
understand and make use of it, how to organize it, how to turn linguistic
documentation into usable materials for language learning, and how the use
of documentation has inspired and furthered the language journeys of
individuals and communities. Breakout sessions will go into more detail on
participants’ choice of discussion on finding materials, organizing and
analyzing the materials, use for language teaching and learning, setting up
a Breath of Life workshop, or other related topics.
